American Red Cross
The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization founded by Clara Barton in 1881 and chartered by Congress in 1900. As a nonprofit, it operates independently while collaborating with government agencies for disaster response and military support. The organization focuses on preventing and alleviating human suffering through volunteer efforts and donor contributions. The American Red Cross provides a range of services, including disaster relief, where it offers shelter, food, and emotional support to survivors of events like floods and hurricanes. It supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood and blood products through its blood services program. Additionally, the organization offers training programs in CPR, first aid, swimming, and lifeguarding. It also supports military personnel by connecting them with their families during crises and delivers international humanitarian assistance, including disaster preparedness and health initiatives. With nearly 1 million volunteers and 35,000 employees, the American Red Cross emphasizes community-driven humanitarian action.
